Interesting reading. Comments solicited from the social networking haters. http://is.gd/aZI7 (Dwight Silverman column; read comments.) |
@nanwill My experience too; shut down & restart Gmail gets it going again. Thought it was my system, but if others seeing same, probly not. |
Not noticing it in my Twitterverse, but Gmail has been flaky for me for couple days now. Twitter Search reveals some others with issues. ??? |
Geez, even NPR is laying off staff. http://is.gd/b2DE I guess entrepreneurs will have to be the ones to save news. |
Jon Stewart's bit on the newspaper crisis. We can at least still laugh. http://is.gd/b0UW |
Clay Shirky on newspapers: "This change has been more like seeing oncoming glaciers ten miles off, and then deciding not to move." Bingo. |
Great newspaper (digital) cliche comic. http://is.gd/aQDD |
Why I don't pay to watch Dexter season 3 even though I'd like to. http://is.gd/aN8j (Old media thinking strikes again.) |
@YannR I saw some media job-loss stats in various stories today. Google News search Tribune and you'll find plenty. Couple hundred K or so. |
Brad Feld has good advice about avoiding fearmongering. Relevant to newspapers right now. http://is.gd/aEDs |
This is weird (supposed bid for Rocky Mountain News). http://is.gd/aHYJ |
... So for a big failing paper, no chance to reinvent? Union contracts complicate options. |
Scripps exec: Converting Rocky into online-only news operation is not an option, nor is operating the paper with a severely reduced staff. |
Just another clueless magazine when it comes to digital (from my blog): http://is.gd/aCPC |
OMG! @pwelter is on Twitter! Welcome, at last, dude. :) |
Here's the NYT's Tribune Co. report: http://is.gd/aCye |
Tribune Co. has hired bankruptcy advisers (NY Times report). Hardly a surprise. Zell/Abrams approach to "reinvention" seemed bankrupt to me. |
OK, newspapers. Can we end the incremental change crap and do some bold things now? Is it bad enough yet? |
So now the Miami Herald is for sale? http://is.gd/aqWY ... Still barely profitable. Must be McClatchy debt move. Wow, industry spiraling. |
It's not the liberal bias, stupid! (My blog) http://is.gd/apVD |
